Letter 10/17/12

Dear family well I figure I will have a little bit of time to write because at General Conference there are a couple of talks by women so I figure I can write y'all real quick haha (that's for you mom).  I'm a slacker and have not wrote in like a month so I'm going to catch you up where I'm at today.  Well for my last little while I was in South Knox.  I was able to see most of the members to say goodbye especially the YSA.  I made quite a few friends in the YSA and in fact Cody Moon is coming to BYUI.  We are going to room together.  He is from Montana so not to far away.  Well that is shocking news that Kaden can go on a mission any minute now so that will be good.  That is crazy they switched that.  Well let me tell y'all a little bit about my new life.  I'm training a new missionary named Elder Kevin Dreesen from San Diego California.  He is an awesome kid from the 9 that came into the mission.  President & Sister Irion said he is the best one.  He is well prepared and humble to learn.  His spanish is good too except when he is under pressure on the door step then his eyes get a little bigger and he looks at me so I can step in.  I'm excited for the next few transfers back in Dalton.  I feel like I'm back at home.  There is no doubt that Dalton is the best ward in the mission.  My first day back in Dalton was Wednesday.  Well on our way back from transfers we got a flat on the trailer.  Well one of the Brothers from the Spanish Ward saw we needed help.  He loaded up all our stuff and took us home.  While we were with him he bought us all lunch.  Later on that night we went over to the church and introduced Elder Dreesen to some members.  Well it was awesome because I have not seen anyone in a year so 10 members wanted to know what we had planned for this week so they can feed us.  From Thursday until all the way to next Friday we have dinner appointments so we are being well taken care of.  Some of the success that we have had so far.  Well we found 5 new investigators in a half a week.  Two ladies that have great potential.  Then a couple other people close to the church.  We have been tracting close to the church because we live within walking distance of the church also because Elder Dreesen popped his tire on his bike on his first full day.  It blew up like a firecracker so everything is going well.  We have a pretty nice apartment so I'm excited about that it is a lot nicer than South Knox.  Well I'm doing good so no worries.  Sorry for not writing in a month!!  Have a safe week.  Love Elder Robison

A facebook message I received from a family in Dalton

It has been a super crazy busy day. But I am so blessed. I am humbled by the love and kindness of friends and am so thankful for my church family including the amazing missionaries. One of my favorite missionaries said something to me that touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I was thanking them for all of their help and hard work today and apologizing to the for them missing part of conference when I was humbled beyond belief, he told me he would rather be in the service of My Heavenly Father doing service for others instead of hearing someone talk about it" meaning he wanted to put those words into action. I cried. Thank you Garline Coleman and Kevin, Thank you Morgan Clark and Krista Clark, and thank you Angie Sutton Robison for raising an amazing son with a heart for our Heavenly Father who only wants to serve. I am truly humbled and blessed by all of you and thankful for the love you have shown my family. #Blessed

Well sounds like everything is going well there back at home and everyone is doing good! well I will catch you up on everything but you are going to have to give me a couple days on a letter. the reason I know were I'm going is because I will be training one last time so that means I will be white washing an area so pres is sending me to a spanish area again so it is exciting to go and see all the people down in Dalton and to work with them once again. Training will give me an opportunity to sit back and be exact and to finish hard and mayby a little spanish will come back along the way so really I was shocked but pres said he wants another one like me out hear so I need to train him to be like me! haha jk but I'm excited hopefully I get a comp that just really needs help I love to help the under dog so I want to do my best!!

 

Hi Presidents letter

 

 

 Dear president

I enjoyed meeting with you as well this week. You wanted  me to talk about my mission vision! Well I have been pondering it quite a bit lately and have come up with some ideas on how to accomplish it. I just wan to to thank you for this opportunity to train again I think there is nothing better to finish out as a trainer / district leader. I know this is a great opportunity to start on my vision because it dose not only reflect me but my new comp. From the extra study in the morning and to being exact that is what will make my light shine and to reflect upon others to make them better disciples of Christ. That is how I'm going to reach my mission vision!
Well for our area in South Knox we had a great week this week. We were able to get with the Delgado family and to help them out this week. They were in need of a bed so we had a service project to help this member move in with her new husband and it turned out that only one member showed up so we had a lot of work to do. We noticed that they had this older bed in the garage so we asked them what they were going to do with it. They said they were going to throw it away. Well the Delgados needed a bed very badly in fact Jimmy Delgado was sleeping on the floor so it was a huge tender mercy from the Lord and I love to see the Lords hand in all things! Later that day we commited the whole Delgado family for the 28th of Oct so we have been blessed so much this week. We need to get them to church and then the dates will count!
Also the dates we have with Shelly and Dusty they are doing great we had a very spiritual lesson with them this week. Dusty opened up and we can totally feel the trust with them they truly love us coming over so everything is going well in South Knox and if our faith is right and we do everything we can we are projected to have 8 baptisms this month. It will be spectacular. well President thanks for everything and you and sister Irion have a great week! Love Elder Robison
